January Foundation Project: Day 5

Hello again!

 I have 2 BB Creams to try during this project and I have decided that I will give them a shot on Fridays.  I actually wore this one earlier this month, but my school writing has prevented me from uploading a review as often as I would like so here we are.

 I tried the IpKn Moist and Firm BB cream in Light. It contains ceramides, collagen and niacinamide which I like and a pretty solid sunscreen which can't hurt especially since I would like an easy weekend product to use when I don't want to pull out sponges and brushes. I tried to find the cruelty free status of this product and wasn't able to come up with much, but due to the lack of information, I probably wouldn't purchase this.

Its unfortunate too because I feel like this looks really nice and has good coverage for a BB cream.  It sat on my skin well and the color match was pretty good. The texture is nice and it feels good on my skin. It actually feels more like skincare than makeup which would be my ideal foundation situation.
Any shine that you see is from a highlighter, but it has a satin matte finish.  It wore ok throughout the day, but not as well as some of the others that I have tried this week.  If I find out more about the cruelty free status, I will look into this more, but at this time, I wouldn't purchase this. I imagine that someone with very light skin might be happy with the lightest version of this because this was pretty light even in the light version, but anyone with darker skin is out of luck with this one because the shade range is not even remotely good.

How I screwed up - January Review

I started out this month with a specific goal in mind with specific rules. I am not happy to say that I broke all of the rules. I thought about keeping all of this to myself, but in the interest of transparency and the fact that this blog is mostly for me, I am going to spill the beans and walk through all of my thoughts on what I did. I feel that, if anyone is actually reading this, knowing that I didn't waltz through this experiment perfectly is probably more useful than being dishonest about it. Here is a list of all of the things that I bought in January - sanctioned or not. Makeup/Beauty Purchases: 1. Tati Beauty Sponge things - I am happy with my current method of applying makeup and foundation and my husband just bought me the fanciest brush that I own. The total of this purchase was $22.72.   I didn't need this. It isn't replacing anything that I have used up. This was 100% a purchase that went against my rules, especially considering that January was suppos...

January Foundation Project: Day 14

It isn't January anymore, but the project goes on.  I should have three more days including this one then I will talk about my February Project. I have liked powder foundations since I bought a compact of the Body and Soul Powder Foundation about 15 years ago. This has long since been discontinued and I have always missed it. I have also tried several powder foundations trying to get something similar. This powder foundation is the closest I have found and I really do like it. This is the Aquasurance Compact Foundation in ACF101 Ivory .  I already know that I like this foundation and I plan to repurchase it in the future, but I have been using this mostly on the weekends and for touchups. I wanted to give this a try as a workday foundation.  To do so, I sort of kept Taylor Wynn's Powder Foundation tutorial in mind and opted to use the Tati Beauty Blendiful for application because powder puff type applicators work really well with this type of product (More on the B...

January Empties

I made some progress on my stuff this month, but as you will notice, there is only one makeup product in this batch.  These are the things that I legitimately used up and are true empties: Soap and Glory Flake Away Body Polish: I like having a scrub for my weekly soak, and I like Soap and Glory products, but I really don't like the standard Soap and Glory scent. I would consider getting this again in a different scent and I like that Walgreens frequently has sales on this product. EVO Salty Dog: A salt spray is one of the staple products that I like to have around to get the texture in my hair after I wash it.  I like this spray. The scent is light and it has a pretty good hold. I have used better salt sprays, but this one doesn't dry my hair out or leave it sticky which is about what I am looking for in a salt spray. I may buy this again when I work through the sprays that I have, but I would like to find something less expensive and easier to get. Solid and Strip...
